To sample using a single sorbent tube, multiple sorbent tubes, or sample bag
* Charge pump battery completely before sampling.
* Use of an unapproved battery and/or charging cable could damage the pump and will void any warranty.
* If using sample tubes as media, calibrate/verify pump flow rate before and after each sampling operation using the tube holder and
pump used for sampling.
1. Ensure pump is calibrated to the method-specified flow rate. See To calibrate on page 13.
From Main Menu:
Touch Sample > Touch Flow or Advanced
2. Ensure calibrator and tubing have been removed and representative
method-specified sampling medium used for calibration has been replaced
with newly opened unexposed method-specified sampling medium to
complete the sampling train.
For bag sampling
a. Use PTFE tubing to connect pump exhaust (Figure 1) to the bag fitting. See bag operating instructions.
b. Unscrew cap on pump exhaust to remove it and screw in supplied exhaust fitting or optional Quick-connect
Bag Sampling Adapter accessory.
c. Attach tubing from the bag to the fitting or adapter on the pump exhaust.
3. On the pump, choose from a manual sample, timed sample, or sample preset (presets are uploaded to the pump from DataTrac Pro
Software). See To set up and run a manual sample below, To set up and run a timed sample on page 20, or To run a sample preset on page 21.
To set up and run a manual sample
1. Connect pump to sampling train. See To sample, Step 2, above.
2. Run sample as follows:
From Main Menu:

If Auto Lock is set to Off, the screen remains active. The screen
may be locked (made inactive) at any time during sampling by
pressing the Power On/Off button on top of the pump.
To unlock and reactivate the screen, press the Power On/Off
button on top of the pump. This feature helps to reduce tap errors
during sample runs.
Secure Lock (set to On) locks (inactivates) the pump touch
screen when the Power On/Off button is pressed. A lock icon
and “Press top button to unlock” message appear on the screen.
To unlock Secure Lock and reactivate the screen, press the
Power On/Off button on top of the pump, and touch the screen
keypad to enter the previously set four-digit passcode.
If Auto Lock and Secure Lock are set to On concurrently, the
pump touch screen will lock when the pump is run, but will require
that the user enter a passcode to unlock the screen.
Flow fault may occur when there is a restriction in airflow (e.g.,
kinked tubing) that remains uncorrected and the pump can no
longer compensate flow. See Flow Fault Mode and Display on
page 22 for details on pump operation during flow fault.
